ICub software
Effective August 2009, YARP and iCub software repositories have been moved to SourceForge.net servers and must be downloaded with Subversion (SVN).
It is recommended that you rename your old (CVS) iCub and yarp2 directories and do a fresh download of the new SVN repositories.
Also, you should install an SVN client on your system if you do not have one already. For Windows, TortoiseSVN is recommended. If you run Linux, chances are high that you can just go ahead using svn in command line.
YARP
Getting the repository in Windows
Inside TortoiseSVN, use the file manager to browse to the location where you would like to download the code. Right click on an empty region of the window and select "SVN checkout" from the contextual menu.
Type the following string in the entry "URL of repository":
https://yarp0.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yarp0/trunk/yarp2
No password or username will be required.
Note: if you use Cygwin, refer to Linux instructions instead.
Getting the repository in Linux
Paste the following command in a console terminal:
svn co https://yarp0.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yarp0/trunk/yarp2 yarp2
This will create a new directory called yarp2 that contains the software. Your environment variables YARP_DIR and YARP_ROOT should be set to that directory (e.g., /home/yourname/yarp2).
Downloading YARP as source package
If for whatever reason you do not want the latest SVN revision of the repository, you may just download a single file containing YARP here: [1].
iCub
Getting the repository in Windows

https://robotcub.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/robotcub/trunk/iCub
